Post #995 – Time is running out…

// August 13th, 2010 // No Comments » // art shows, events, paintings, skateboarding

Just a quick reminder – this Sunday, August 15 is the last day for the We Are Contributors online art auction.  So, if you’re interested in getting a custom piece of skateboard art from myself, Don Pendleton, Tony Larson, Todd Francis, Porous Walker, Amber B or any of the other amazing artists involved in this project, get on that pronto.  And, as mentioned before, proceeds will go toward giving free skateboards to lower income families in Canada, so it’s money well spent. And $150 for a one of a kind skate deck is really not that bad.

Also, below is a sneak preview of the Vans that I customized for the Vans/Color Magazine/ Society6 collaboration project.  I am very honored to be one of 9 artists from a group of 440 applicants to be selected for participation, so I am very, very stoked. The shoes will be part of a show that will make it’s way from Vancouver to Toronto to Montreal – wish I could join them on their journey but, unfortunately, plane tickets aren’t free so I’m stuck at home. Not sure where they’ll end up after that, but I will let you know.  More info and photos to come down the road.

And, as part of the collaboration, I put together a special, limited edtion collage print that will only be available for purchase via Society6  - it’s entitled The Most Polite Restraint and is available for purchase here.  The image is also available on T-shirts and iPod skins, so feel free to coordinate your tech wuth your outfit if that’s how you roll.  It’s your world, homeboy, I’m just (thankfully) in it..

Post #965 – Montana Skatepark art auction

// April 23rd, 2010 // No Comments » // paintings, skateboarding

I recently donated a custom painted skate deck to the Montana Skatepark Association’s 5th Annual On Deck benefit art auction.  The MSA has been raising money and building skateparks for the kids in Montana since 2000 and they’re a great organization.  The auction just went live this morning and I must say I was pretty blown away by some of the boards – especially by Adam Haynes’ piece, which is amazing. Anyway, click here to view the image gallery and to make a bid to help out the cause. The online bidding ends at 3:00 pm on May 7th and I believe all pieces start at $75, which is a steal. And for more information on the MSA, click here.

The painting I did is titled Respect, and it’s oil paint on board and was painted in February 2010.

Post #963 – The Migrant Living In Your Ear

// April 21st, 2010 // No Comments » // paintings

Been working on a bunch of new paintings & getting prepared for my solo show at the Slingluff Gallery this October, and recently finished this one – it’s called The Migrant Living In Your Ear (Christopher).  It’s oil on canvas, 44″ wide by 30″ high.  For those who don’t know, it’s a tribute to my friend and band mate, Christopher Tucker, who passed away in 2008. Rest in peace my friend – I hope I did you justice.
